I know what you mean, my hair is super curly when wet and I have to go through the process of straightening too. But really I don’t think there is a faster way to do it, it takes as long as it takes. You shouldn’t really flat iron your hair when it’s wet. What I do is use my blow dryer for a bit first and then just iron my hair in small sections, that way you don’t have to go over it and over it, I found that when you do smaller sections you can go over it once and its done. You could always get a little help with it from a friend when you really don’t feel like doing it yourself. Or maybe try wearing your hair up on days when you don’t feel like doing it. Try to hang in there though.
